FCCB Challenge #166 Frame It

My project this week is literally an altered frame from Wal-Mart.  It cost .97 cents. I am showing it two ways.  This first picture is how I displayed it on FCCB.

 The second picture is using the frame for a picture of my youngest son when he was a baby.

 It was fun to make. I used a lot of Cricut cartridges for this one.

Country Life - banner

Doodlecharms - baby bottle

Cricut Sampler -onesie and rattle 

Elegant Edges - little frame

Here's how it all came together.  First I painted the frame with Folk Art paint Metallic Blue. I then cut my shapes out on the Cricut and pieced them together.  The felt stickers are from Martha Stewart. I also used her blue and white twine.  I used small beads between each banner. All the outlining and stitching are done with a blue glitter pen.  The buttons are from my stash.  The rocking horse charm was from a baby shower. 

As you may have guessed I horde everything in case I can use it for something.

I think it is so sweet and adorable.  I think I will try one in pink just for fun. I did buy two frames so if I messed  up I had a backup. Hum, I do have some pink paint too.

Join us this week at FCCB and share your frame projects.

12 Days Of Christmas Swap Day 2

Here is Day 2 as I promised. You might have to scroll down to see Day One.  For Day 2 we had to make or buy two items. I decided to make altered picture frames.  The first one I did in black and white. The second is my swap partners color choice of blue and white.

DAY TWO   

I painted the frame which I bought at Walmart black then I covered it with paper in a harlequin pattern from DCWV Halloween stack Midnight Spell. I applied it with Mod podge.  After it was all dry I attached black braid trim to the edge.  The flowers and brads are from Paper Studio.  I used more mod podge to shape the flowers they were very flat.  The bling is from Recollections at Micheal's. The sentiment is a stamp by Emma at My Creative Time called Just Simply Live.

 

Here is the white and blue frame.  I painted it white and then added the snowflakes. The large ones are from Paper Studio and the smaller ones are from Jollee's stickers.  I used a blue glitter pen to draw the lines around the inside and outside edges. The word stickers in a white glitter are from Glitz & Glitter. Even though the snowflakes were from different makers they fit together well.  This will be a fun frame for winter pictures not just for Christmas.

Here they are side by side.

Now for what my awesome swap partner Rhonda sent me.

HUNKA, HUNKA CHOCOLATE!!!!!

Have you ever seen a Reese's this big before? Not me. I bet I can eat the whole thing though.  It may take a few days but hey I' m up for the challenge.

Hope you enjoyed, be back shortly for day three.  Then tomarrow I will open day four and post it.

Bye Bye for now,
